[Scott Stevens](https://blog.integrityts.com/author/scott-stevens) November 13, 2019 at 12:29 PM ![dont-take-the-bait](https://blog.integrityts.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dont-take-the-bait.png?width=1200&name=dont-take-the-bait.png) Beware of politically charged email messages and links to news articles. Specific, credible threats have been identified as hackers are taking advantage of the impeachment proceedings to send malicious email messages and web site links.  The more passionate people are about a topic, the more likely they will fall for an attack. Always think before you click!
